Building a wider story of wellbeing, kindness, collaboration & care
Join us for this engaging event, moving towards a Leeds Festival of Compassion and Wellbeing 2020. This event will explore:
- What makes communities healthy supportive places to live?
- How are neighbourhoods already contributing to personal and social wellbeing in a wider way?
- How can we discover and spread the positive work already being done?
- How could a Festival of Compassion and Wellbeing offer an opportunity to support, acknowledge and celebrate local people helping local people?
This event is for anyone interested in supporting and developing kindness and wellbeing in their communities whether informally as a local person, as a community activist or professionally in, at or through their work.
Book your place today.
